Starting out with "Dave Chappelle was decapitated" was a confusing point to begin with, then going into "a muslim being called a crackhead" I was all 'what's this guy going on about?'

It took me a minute to figure out that he meant Chappelle had been figuratively "killed" by hollywood.

He goes on a bit of a loop, but it all makes sense in the end.

Chappelle talks about Hollywood a bit in this clip:



....which refers to this story: Comedian Martin Lawrence Runs Into Street, Yells at Cars

I only became aware of Comedy Central fucking over Dave Chappelle from the Kat Williams video you posted, and the discussion it sparked on reddit.

Where you chose to start the vid, around the 3-minute mark, IS where the meat of the video starts.

Some people can't accept any criticism at all of any in their group without instantly jumping to hyperbole and claiming criticism equates to absolute blanket hatred. I find that terribly sad and over reactionary. '100% With us or against us' is a terrible way to live life.

It's proper to teach your child to be careful driving around school busses, and any other moving vehicle. They all get in crashes all the time, so drive carefully, also busses are full of children that don't look before running across streets, so be extra careful....and don't drive around them! (It's a crime)

But I understand, some people are team players, and refuse to acknowledge any foible of their 'team'. To me, that denies them the opportunity to ever improve. C'est la vie.

Hello all,
I've just been alerted to this thread through the a few fans of this band. Maybe I can shed some light on what seems to have happened. First of all, I co-manage this band and NO, I will not be posting any videos, because obviously that would be a violation of this websites rules. Understood, they're trying to keep this an entirely "spam free zone" and not used for any type of promotional tool.
That being said, I also understand why KellyMML posted the video here. KellyMML has not "lied" or tried to spam anyone in anyway, NOR did she post this video for some type of self promotion, as Kelly is NOT a band member nor is she a paid employee in any way shape or form. She IS however a street team leader, but is not paid, given any types of gifts or holds any kind of "rank" within the management company.
Kelly was one of the artists earliest fans, and through her own enjoyment and wanting to be a part of their growth, as taken to sharing their work online through out the world, and I must say has done an incredible job of it.

I completely understand the views that the site owners take on spam, and not wanting VideoSift to become some annoying sounding board of musicians/comedians/actors and up-and-comers posting constantly about their "not yet anything" dreams. I get it. There are plenty of websites out there that allow this and I myself have become irritated at having to scroll through trash to see something good lol.

After some digging, I was able to contact Kelly myself and figure out why this may have happened. Kelly informed me that when she email the website to find out how to put a video up, they replied to her with instructions AND the rules. Still confused, I asked her to forward me that email.
I immediately saw where the confusion begin.
Kelly worded her email as if she WERE either a bandmember, or in the very least someone who works for them. This isn't the case, but it's noticeable by reading her inquiry why it looked that way.
After she read the rules, she posted the video. I'm guessing that because she used those terms when she first contacted VideoSift, they assumed (understandably so) that "we and our" meant this was some type of self promotion.
Since I've been notified of this issue, Kelly has been instructed that while she is more than welcome to run a street team for MML and we appreciate her spreading the word, to please not refer to herself, or any of her posts/shares/activities as if she were connected with the band either AS a member, or as an employee of management, and to also identify herself as a fan. She is also welcomed to explain that she runs her own street team but is not employed by or managed by anyone on their professional team.

Hope this clears some things up. Feel free to contact me at cassie at mondaysmonalisa dot com if you need any other information. We would like to dispell any negativity affiliated with Monday's Mona Lisa.
Thank you!

Here is my take. And if you get tired of discussing the topic, let me know. I love to debate but I cut my debate down because I was too long winded.

Parents need to be active in children’s lives. True. More important than the influence of parents, studies and observations show, are peers and new stimulations. I.e., “Monkey see monkey do,” or “new pussy wins out.” This works for the conformity and anticonformity mindset. Even the hermit who goes to live alone in the forest was a product, most of all, of his peers (They molded him to be a loner.) Education and parenthood can remove some of this commercialist mindset we inherit from our human genes, but that takes a long time. That statement is broad and is not meant to be 100% inclusive of everyone nor everyone's reactions to different scenarios. Some are better at being individuals than others. But those exceptions are rare.

Adults are the same way. The way you interact with one 'teaches' that adult what is normal or abnormal. You may not have children Blank, but you most likely interact with children or parents. So you mold them one way or another. Because of this, you should definitely have input on education. In fact, think of society as a job. You should have a say in how everyone does their jobs, fills their niches. That survey at the end of a training session? It applies to everyone in the class of life.

Good parenting is required for good children, yes, but it only shapes an outline. Genetics and new stimulus children encounter account for far more.

Further Blank, you are still a part of society. Casting responsibility away for the woes of our society, meanwhile griping about away for whatever reason, is unacceptable (By that I mean, don't be mad when your house get's burglarized or your car get's stolen by some punk kid. You left them to their own devices, now they are making their own choices. By logic, you should have no say in what they do---just as you should have no say in matters of their education. I am not saying you do cast away responsibility and gripe, I am just making a point.) As long as you admit you were potentially part of their delinquency, I am cool with that. That is the world you crafted through inactivity or distance, and the world I actively crafted.

I volunteer at the Big Brothers mentor program, not because I love children or wish to be better than others... I am not altruism at its finest. I do it to shape one child's life so that hopefully he does not become a danger to myself, my family, my friends, my neighbors, or anyone, even you. Do I owe this to Blank? Do you owe it to me to do likewise? Only if you don’t want punk kids running the streets with their gangs. If responsible people won’t accept them, then someone else will.

You could say you owe nothing to anyone and you would be correct. We all could---parents, children, sons, daughters, why stop at you? Why should mom or dad be any different than you? Their responsibility, technically (Just like your responsibility is technically nothing,) is to drop the kid off at a fire station. "They chose to have children," and? They then chose to abandon or deject their child. Just like you chose to abandon taking care of the place you live in.

Your last paragraph is on point and would be nice.

It's almost ten o clock see i got a ball of lifted property
so i slid my beenie hat on sloppily
and promenade out to take up a collection
i got game like i read the directions
i 'm wishing that i had an automobile

this ole lady look like she drank a forty of fear
i see my ole school partner said his brother got popped

which reflects off the hamburger sign as it turns round
which reflects off the chrome of the bmw
which reflects off the fact that i am broke

My footsteps echo in the darkness
my teeth clenched tight like a fist in the cold sharp mist
i look down and i hear my somach growling
step to burger king to attack it like a shaolin
i never pay for shit that i can get by doing dirt
link up to the girl cashier and start to flirt
all up in her face and her breath was like murder

came to an underground parking lot

my eyes shoots round the room there and here
noticing the diamonds in the chandelier
background barry manilow copacobana
and a strong ass scent of stoagies from havana

snobby ole ladies drinking champagne with rich white men

nights like this is good for business

who treats young black man like frank nitty
mr coke said to mr mayor "you know we got a process like ice t's hair
we put up the fund for your election campaign
and oh um waiter can you bring the champagne"
a real estate fronts as opportunities arousing
to make some condos out of low income housing
immediately we need some media heat
to say that gangs run the street and then we bring in the police fleet
harrasing me everbody till they look inebriated
when we bought the land motherfuckas will appreciate it
dont worry about the urban league or jesse jackson
my man that owns marlboros
donated a fat sum
thats when i step back some to contemplate what few know
sat down wrestle with my thoughts like a sumo
aint no one player that could beat this lunancy
aint no hustler on the street could do a whole community
this is how deep shit can get
it reads macaroni on my birth certificate
poontang is my middle name but i cant hang
i'm getting hustled
only knowing half the game
shit how the fuck do i get out of this place.

Well, I suppose we need people like joedirt to be paranoid about these kinds of things. You are making most of your statements off of the assumption that everyone involved has ill intent and basically are picturing worst case fictional scenarios. Like soldiers running the streets subduing the general populace. That wasn't the point of the article at all. This is a result of inquiries into Katrina response problems and complaints that the National Guard was not enough for such extreme cases. I'll definitely find out more as time goes on since I still talk to everyone in my old unit, but the possibility of being used for anything other than emergency disaster relief has not even come up with them. In fact, they were told specifically that this was in response to recent failings in hurricane response and that they were getting ready at the time in case any serious problems arose when Ike hit. As far as the Constitution is concerned, if you can point to the article or amendment which covers active duty soldiers helping with disaster relief that would help some. All that I have ever seen regarding that is the 3rd Amendment which prohibits the quartering of soldiers without consent. The Army can be deployed for disaster relief without violating any constitutional rights, and they have done so already in the past.

interesting. I'd say the guy in the white jacket is some thug trying to run the streets a bit, and the black jacket guy may even have a gripe with him; notice the black jacket dude isn't enjoying the company of the white jacket guy from the beginning, then he tries to calm the fighter down, but gets beaten for his association with the guy that hits women.
